Applauding US President Donald Trump's "bold decision" to hit Iran's nuclear facilities, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said that it demonstrated "peace through strength" and will lead to a future of peace and prosperity in the region and beyond, reported news agency PTI.

The US struck three sites in Iran early Sunday with the aim of destroying the country's nuclear programme. The sites attacked were Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

"Your (Trump's) bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history," Netanyahu said, reported PTI.
